      Air 3. I was very worried about low light but so many reviewers have shown it does well. The C1 classifications also are a huge point for me. I travel quite a bit so it is nice to know that I can fly a bigger drone in the EU. I was leaning towards the Mavic 3 classic but the price point, new RC (with improved range), and new flight modes you mentioned (cruise control) make this an easy choice. It checks so many boxes. I was a skeptic but not anymore.

    Great video, agree with everything except you saying the battery doesn't feel that safe on the air 2s with it being on top. It's actually safer that was because if a clip spring fails, you have gravity to hold it in. If one fails on the Air 3 the battery poops out the back and your drone drops like a stone. That being said, I've never had my air 2s battery clip fail, pop out or anything like that. I've also never heard of it happening unless someone crashed it. That would likely happy with any drone though. The interesting thing I've noticed is that out of all the tons of Air 3s reviews I cannot find a single one that actually compares the photos side by side for resolution, zoomed in, pixel peeping or blown up for larger prints. No one is doing it. It makes me think all of the first reviews are just paid ones, not sure though.

    I was very worried about the smaller sensor in low light. Thanks for doing the comparison. I'm leaning towards a Mavic 3 Classic because my Mini struggles so much in winds over 20mph. Also, you're so right about birds, glad to hear the Air 3 descends and ascends faster now. I was in Colorado this last week in the mountains and a what looked like a turkey vulture got close to my drone. I went straight up and flew away and came back and landed safely. Cruise control is such a HUGE feature, so glad it made its way to the Air 3. Great review as always!

      not really in the market for an air series. i run a m3e, m2 pro and mini 2 (for scoping to save the bigger brothers batteries) for work. i dont think i could live with the fixed aperture in the UK - the light levels change all the time with cloud/sun/cloud. if i was looking to replace my 2 pro it would be for the m3 classic.

  • @alexkooistra
    @alexkooistra Před 10 měsíci +2

    So far I see a pattern in all reviews that are DJI sponsored: Skip the photo part. Here you mention only the resolutions and quickly move on. This 12 MP, is that the true resolution and is the 48 mp some upscaled thin? Or is it a true 48mp image? Because if it is a 12 mp cam thats a huge difference with the 20MP of the air2s.

  • @LukeMaximoBell1
    @LukeMaximoBell1 Před 10 měsíci

    The BSI back side illuminated sensor helps with low light improvement. I think because it’s lower res at 4K each pixel is bigger so that helps with low light as well.

    I see so many people talking about the Air 3 being an upgrade from the Air 2s but don’t you think that the Air 3 is more of an upgrade from the Air 2? If you look at the history of DJI it’s very likely that the Air 3s will be the next version released. And that will be an upgrade from the Air 2s.

  • @SpencerWhiteman
    @SpencerWhiteman Před 9 měsíci +8

    The Air2s camera quality is much more "organic". I definitely prefer the 1" sensor on the 2s since it resolves the edges of objects in a nicer way than the way the 3 interprets the edges and makes them look a little too "sharp". Even with the sharpness on the 3 turned down, I think it will unsharpen the image in a way that doesn't look nice.
    The air 3 is crazy in lowlight, absolutely bonkers.
    As far as the DR goes, why didn't you shoot in d-log on the 2S?

    Hi, I lost my air2s on a windy flight recently and it didn't make it home. I'm a photographer and I'd like to know if it's worth the upgrade and if the Air 2s' camera is better than the Air3's during the day. I'm not sure whether to buy a new air2s because I was also flying with an insta360sphere lens attached to it and I really enjoyed making 360º videos. And with the air3 it would not be possible to make 360º videos However, I don't know if it was because of the insta360 sphere camera that caused the loss of signal in a lot of wind and not returning to home.

    Hi there! Love your video! Been watching reviews all day long. I was so sure to get a mini 3 pro as my first drone. Then they released the air 3 and now I’m split between air2s and the air 3. It’s gonna be my 1st drone ever - and I’m not sure i will see the difference camera wise. I like the obstacle avoidance on the air3 though. In Denmark I can get a used air 2S for 1000$ with fly more set or the new 3 air for 1770$. Can you give me some guidance please? The drone will mainly be used for vertical shooting and pictures (also most vertical)
    But is it waste to use those 700$ more? So many comments about “wait for the 3air s and etc”

    I have 3 friends who bought the Air 3 and this what they pretty much said.
    Never found the zoom feature useful.
    There isn't a significant upgrade in terms of image quality in camera and if anything the Air 2s produces slightly better images due to it larger pixels
    They hate the fact that the fly more combo of the Air 3 does not come with a charger
    they wishes they just spent that money on extra air 2s batteries
    I currently run the Air 2s and the only viasble upgrade would be the Air 3s if they release it.

    I think DJI needs to start considering upgrading plans for their current customers. While I do think the new battery mounting is better, and the flight time is obviously better. I have serious concerns about the air4 or air3s. I currently have 8 Air2s batteries to have a rolling battery system. Given the price of the mavic 3 batteries - to have a similar setup, the batteries would cost more than the drone. There's no clear indication from DJI that they will even use this chassis on their next models. If DJI commits to sticking with one battery chassis (maybe an upgraded battery in the future in the same form factor) then I would start to consider the upgrade.

I’ve owned everything from the Phantom 3 to the Inspire Pro and the wow factor increases with the sensor size. The only thing “wrong” with the Air2S is the fixed aperture . I always carry at least 2 batteries when pro shooting so flight time is never an issue. 😊
